Good Question: Can You Recycle Old Christmas Lights?
This question is from Kelly:
I just pulled out my Christmas decorations today and found two strands of lights that were not working. Can these be recycled? I really hate to just throw stuff like this away. thanks
Yep. You can recycle old Christmas lights! Here's one way (which we just read about at GreenLAGirl): Send them to Holiday LEDs. They have a Christmas Light Recycling Program.
Does anyone know of any other ways to recycle old Christmas lights?

supposedly Ace Hardware will recycle them. It was in an article about how to recycle misc. items.
